Outdoor faucet leak

I have an outdoor faucet that leaks pretty substatially when on. It is butted up to the vynl siding. How do I repair or replace?

Tighten the packing nut under the handle.

Or replace the packing.

As others have said, the packing nut needs to be tightened, repacked, or replaced.

Here is a site with a few pictures:

Leaks with water turned on, or turned off? with hose atached, or no hose?
